10 MCU Castings Everyone Expects To Happen

10. Glen Powell - Cyclops

There's no denying that Glen Powell was an absolute show-stealer as Hangman in Top Gun: Maverick this past summer, and so it wasn't long before rumours started doing the rounds that Marvel had secretly cast him as Cyclops in their upcoming iteration of the X-Men.

While many fans expected Powell to be revealed in earnest by Marvel Studios at Comic-Con back in July, it never happened, yet that did nothing to quash the popular belief that he will indeed eventually be revealed as the MCU's version of Scott Summers.

For his part, Powell has played it coy, declaring absolute ignorance about his casting in interviews:

"Nobody has called me. I don’t even have contact info for Marvel, so I have no idea what people are talking about."

Given Marvel Studios' extreme level of secrecy regarding their projects, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that an actor lied about securing an MCU gig - Andrew Garfield, anyone? - so most still seem to believe that he has indeed nabbed the part.
